Helping you to navigate your senior years and live your life to the fullest

Getting older can feel daunting and often comes with a lot of questions. Thankfully, there is someone you can speak to to help you navigate the years ahead and work through available options and choices.

We recognise that everyone has individual goals and that ‘healthy ageing’ means different things to different people. Our Healthy Ageing Hub Advisor will work with you to fully customise their approach to working with you to support your current and future needs.

Our Healthy Ageing Advisor can support you to:

  • identify choices and options to help you age well in your community
  • navigate My Aged Care and understand what supports you may be eligible for
  • feel educated and empowered about your choices, as well as link you with support groups, programs, physical activities, adult learning classes and social support services  that will meet your individual needs
  • receive the latest health advice and resources to support your wellbeing
  • resolve issues and make significant life decisions e.g. end of life decision making
  • access culturally appropriate and safe care, specific to your needs.

“How long will I be able to live independently in my own home?”

“I don't want my senior years to play out the way they did for my parents and grandparents. They never had any choices, and they felt restricted in what they could do and how they could do it once they got to a certain age. ...........I want to give myself the best possible chance of living the life I want, while I still can”
